The Prime Minister just did the Today program. As ever Evan Davis covered himself in glory, Guido isn’t quite sure interviewers are meant to laugh their way through questions, even if it was just nerves.

When asked whether he would block Gordon’s appointment to the IMF, Dave did not answer directly, but suggested someone who cannot recognise their own debt and financial mismanagement should not be in a role looking after other country’s problems. Well that’s that then. Gordon will not be going to the IMF. To put the boot in the PM picked Storming Gordon for the racing tip.
